The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the probable cause of the man's symptoms, we need to analyze the provided options based on the symptoms described: extremely long limbs and digits, along with severe disfigurement of facial features. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Symptoms**: The man has extremely long limbs and digits, which suggests a condition that affects bone growth. The severe disfigurement of facial features indicates a possible hormonal imbalance affecting growth and development. 2. **Evaluating the Options**: - **Option 1: Hyposecretion of hormone from neurohypophysis**: The neurohypophysis (posterior pituitary) primarily secretes vasopressin (ADH) and oxytocin. Hyposecretion of these hormones does not typically lead to elongation of limbs or facial disfigurement. Therefore, this option is unlikely. - **Option 2: Hypersecretion of hormone from neurohypophysis**: Hypersecretion from the neurohypophysis could lead to conditions like acromegaly, which is characterized by the enlargement of bones and facial features due to excess growth hormone. This could explain both the long limbs and the facial disfigurement. This option is plausible. - **Option 3: Hypersecretion of hormone from thyroid**: Hyperthyroidism can cause various symptoms, but it is not typically associated with elongation of limbs or severe facial disfigurement. This option is less likely. - **Option 4: Hypersecretion of hormone from adrenal gland (Cushing's syndrome)**: Cushing's syndrome is caused by excess cortisol and does not typically result in elongated limbs or digits. It is more associated with obesity and facial changes (moon face), making this option unlikely as well. 3. **Conclusion**: The most probable cause for the symptoms described (extremely long limbs and digits, severe facial disfigurement) is **hypersecretion of hormone from the neurohypophysis**, which can lead to conditions like acromegaly. ### Final Answer: The probable cause for the man's symptoms is **hypersecretion of hormone from the neurohypophysis**.
